QUIET GAMES
_5 to 30 or more players._
_Playground; gymnasium; schoolroom; parlor._
This is a quiet game, as distinguished from those requiring much
muscular activity. One of the players starts the game by saying "One";
the next says "Two," the next "Three," etc., until the number "Seven"
is reached, when the word "Buzz" is substituted for it. The next
player says "Eight," and so on up to a multiple of seven, such as
fourteen, twenty-one, twenty-eight, etc., on each of which the word
"Buzz" should be used instead of the right number. The word "Buzz" is
also substituted for any number in which the word seven occurs, even
though it should not be a multiple of seven, such as seventeen,
twenty-seven, thirty-seven, etc. When seventy is reached, the counting
proceeds as "Buzz-one," "Buzz-two," etc., and seventy-seven is
"Buzz-buzz."
Whenever a player says a number instead of "Buzz," or says "Buzz" in
the wrong place, or calls out a wrong number, he must pay a forfeit
and start the game over again by saying "One."
The game may also be played by having each player who misses drop from
the game. Where this is done, and the player retains his seat but is
silent, the game becomes even more confusing for the players who
remain.
